Violent assaults and threats are the fastest growing health and safety concern in the workplace, the TUC reveals today (Saturday) as it releases the headline figures from its 2002 TUC Survey of 5,000 union-appointed safety reps.
'Too many workers face the threat of violence when they go to work, and in some jobs, the only question is ‘when’ will you get attacked, not ‘whether’. Workers are facing a rising tide of violence and employers haven’t got to grips with the threat. Individual acts of violence are random, but violence itself is all too predictable in some jobs. That means the risk of violence can and should be assessed, managed and reduced.' (Source : TUC)

Violence and aggression against nurses and other NHS staff is "high and rising" despite the Government's zero tolerence policies, a report says today.
The commons public accounts committee says that incidents are now running at a rate of 260 a day, that they increased by 13 percent in 2001-02 and that the NHS has failed to meet targets for reducing violence against staff.
Is says the real number of cases is even higher because it is widely accepted that staff are reluctant to make reports.
